Steelworkers to vote on industrial action over Port Talbot job losses threat
Steelworkers in Community are to be balloted for industrial action in response to the threat of job losses at Port Talbot and other Tata sites, the union announced.
The move was agreed at a meeting of 40 Community representatives from across the country.
Tata is consulting on plans to shut down blast furnaces at Port Talbot with the loss of thousands of jobs.
Community general secretary Roy Rickhuss said: “Industrial action is always a last resort but Tata’s actions mean we now have to prepare for that eventuality.
